Alumnus Calls Yale Four-Letter Word

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Some Harvard alumni have objected to a condescending reference to Yale in the lyrics of an original Harvard cheering song, and so the song will be played today at The Game without its words.

"Yale's a four-letter word," says Strabo V. Claggett, a graduate of the Lew School in 1917, in his new piece, "Here's to Harvard." The song--words and music--was to have its debut last night at the Harvard Band's concert before the Harvard Club of New York City and was to be played again in the Bowl today by the Band.

Instead, the New York City audience heard only the music. The words were deleted by Harvard Club members who objected to the reference to Yale.
